Yeh bro it is. Keep pH of nuts an water at 6. I'm using it. It is the bees knees. Easy to overwater. The canna Terra line of nutrients is designed to be run in this medium too.

Thanks man, it's my first ever grow! She was looking really bad at the start due to the heatwave I had over here, but she pulled through really hard!
Also she has a few awesome mutations, like even tipped leaves and twin tipped leaves, also I didn't mention that the plant itself germinated as twins, the other one is hiding somewhere underneath not receiving enough light so she's still small like a clone, alone with the other bud sites from the main plant that are at the bottom that I'm going to take as clones as they're the perfect size now.
Another thing when I topped her I decided to try the FIM technique and instead of giving me two main tops, she rewarded me with 4!
Due to having them 4 main tops I had to do some LST, so that's why she has that nice shape to her and two of the main tops are what's filling the middle part up stretching for the light.
I'll show you before and after pictures.

Fimming is another HST technique used to increase yield that is similar to topping, but not quite the same. The objective is still to increase the number of main colas. But instead of doubling down, fimming can give rise to 4+ new top colas. This technique is highly recommended for micro-growers with perhaps just 1-2 plants.

Secondary shoots are juiced with the growth hormone that previously would have been used to develop the main stem. However, most growers report that fimming is slightly less effective at reducing stretching than topping. A fimmed cannabis plant can still grow rather tall, albeit with far more top colas.
